Life as we know it may be changing, yet we still don't have an idea of what the final story will be. While many studies and headlines focus on news about temperature spikes and sea level rises, as a result of climate change, there is much more that could happen — or is already happening

Is it possible for some athletes to perform better than others depending on the climate? A new study out of the United States is trying to answer this question using data from Ironman competitions.

Some physiques perform better in different climates - just like animals, a study of athletes suggests.

THURSDAY, May 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A study of triathletes reveals certain body types perform better in certain climates.

A new study looking at the performance of professional triathletes found men who are taller, with longer limbs, are faster when temperatures are higher.

A study from Dartmouth analyzed nearly 200 Ironman contestants over two decades and found that performance may be linked to how an athlete’s physique is adapted to shedding or retaining heat in certain climates. Taller, leaner runners with long limbs tended to excel in warm climates, while marathoners with stockier builds and shorter limbs fared better in colder climates. The research is among the first to suggest that human physiology may be adapted to climate to optimize physical performance...

This essay is a food-for-thought on the identity (culture), training and education of special forces (SF). The target audience is the special forces, the emerging wider special operations forces (SOF) community, politicians and key military decision-takers who must wield special forces. Admittedly every nation has its particularities, but many SF throughout the world have common concerns and difficulties when it comes to setting a culture that matches a clear identity. Not in terms of tasks like...

Sisters Ava and Izzy of Hanover, New Hampshire, were curious as to why frog eggs that they found near their home had different colors on them. Maybe this would affect how the frogs would grow, they thought. Two years later, with the help of their scientist-dad, they published their findings.

The Calsbeek family’s findings illustrate how communal nesting habits among animal species in New Hampshire are directly impacted by temperature shifts due to climate change.
